Gardening and canning were her favorite hobbies, and she also loved travel and flying. She worked and was a big part at the Interfaith (International) Camps at Elk Shoals United Methodist Campground. She will be remembered fondly as she was beloved by all of the children and counselors. She spent much of her later years enjoying vacations with her granddaughter and daughter. She had happy memories of some of her favorite places and destinations: the zoos of NC and SC, the beaches of Wilmington and Sarasota, the shows of Las Vegas, the bays and valleys of California, Yellowstone and Arches Monument, and the many other National Parks of Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico.
A loving wife, mother, grandmother, and neighbor - she will be missed by all.
